If you get a chance, please track down and read his autobiography "Mr. T: The Man With The Gold". It was published in 1984 and the guy has one of the most compelling and entertaining life stories of all time. I can't believe his life hasn't been made into a movie yet, and the best part about the book is that it's written as a first person autobiography, so when you read it you subconsciously hear Mr. T's voice in your head as the narrator. Just imagine if you read Morgan Freeman's autobiography, only with 10,000% more ass kicking and pitying of fools.
This book is absolutely fucking epic.

ouch

edit: cucked amazon is removing reviews as we speak
edit 2: the prologue is all about how she stood up to the bully, Trump, at the debates....... she was banking on his loss
Fead his autobiography. It is worth the $15 on Amazon.

You should check out his autobiography - was one of my faves when I was a kid

I would recommend reading the book Brainiac by Ken Jennings if you would like some insight in to the world of trivia. If you are unfamiliar with who he is, he won Jeopardy! something like 74 times in a row. One of the things that he emphasizes in the book is the difference between trivia knowledge and intelligence, and how people who are great at trivia aren't necessarily smart. In fact, he points out that a lot of people in the trivia world got in to trivia because they're average in many ways, but being good at this makes them feel smart. He includes himself in that description.
Should have elaborated on her especially when lumping her in with Glenn Beck. I meant her book or her speaking out. Anything that is seen as remotely negative about Trump is washed out by the supporters that then go after these people. Look at her [book for example] (https://www.amazon.com/Settle-More-Megyn-Kelly/dp/0062494600). It has immediately been given 1 star reviews barely even discussing the book due to people from places like The Donald that said to brigade her book.
Anyone who disagrees is thrown under a bus.
LOL can we please tweet this to Megyn.
Edit: it's also on sale at Amazon, how can they call it a best seller is beyond me.
Yikes, their nicknames alone are pure nightmare fuel. The Vampire Rapist John Crutchley and The Angel of Death Genene Jones
The book they discussed sounds awesome. Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI Written by: Robert K. Ressler Amazon Kindle eBook, Barnes and Noble Nook eBook, Audible Audiobook Anyone else planning to read/listen along with the unofficial MFM book club? It looks like STEVEN! already has his copy (and a fidget spinner).
The Guy Fieri stuff was hilarious, but this picture on the MFM instagram is freaking glorious. Wow!
Of course the book by David McCullough is excellent.
Not necessarily to nitpick, but I'd disagree with "in every stage". You might be interested in reading the biography "John Adams" by David McCullough. Within it, David describes how Franklin was quite perpetually slow and distracted by women while being the colonial diplomat to France, in the attempt to persuade the French to assist the colonies.
Both CNN and MSNBC also employ Republicans involved in active campaigns. CNN employed Corey Lewandowski and MSNBC employed Joe Scarborough while both were actively involved in advising Donald Trump's campaign, for example. Roger Ailes and other senior-level FNC staff are also partisan Republicans who have been active in politics. You can write lists forever.
I think there are two important distinctions to make: the "news room" coverage of each type of agency, where objectivity and investigative journalism are valued, and the editorializing type content. The news rooms of all major media companies are generally either center-left or completely non-partisan (even Fox News). The point where they differ is in the editorial content, morning shows, talking head babbling and all that. The Fox News website is also very, very, very, very low on journalistic standards and objectively-evaluated content.
The point I was making, if allowed to expand a little bit on the subject, is that it is relatively very rare to find unmoderated representation of Democrats or liberals on Fox News, while Republicans are often given both talking-head representation but also editorial control on several forums at CNN and MSNBC. Fox News also has a coherent policy of taking management-defined talking points that come from the exec-level strategy (all Republican partisans) which is then propagated across its different channels, differing shows, and website. This comes from upper management and often has an explicit partisan objective. This is not an academic-level source, but I recommend this book if you're interested in learning more about how Fox News functioned under Ailes. I will grant that the slant of both CNN and MSNBC editorials tends to the left, but they do not function as partisan organs the same way Fox does.
MSNBC and CNN have a center or center-left editorial perspective, but in generally they cover Republicans more favorably than Fox covers Democrats as partisanship is concerned. You don't have to trust my opinion. There are plenty of objective studies that show Fox has a more partisan slant in its day-to-day coverage than the other two major cable networks and that even CNN and MSNBC have coverage tendencies that often support Republicans as well as democrats. There are also lots of studies that supposed "left-wing" or "right-wing" news rooms are actually quite centrist.
Here is an interesting one relating an objective study of agenda-setting and television coverage during the 04 campaign. This shows the discrepancy in coverage of Trump/Clinton campaign rallies between the three over the summer. This is an interesting one, shows the disparity among coverage around two specific issues (Hillary's pneumonia and Trump's improper use of Trump Organization funds) that broke at the same time. This study, also from 2004, shows a breakdown of the sources and methods each media company uses which gives an interesting and often-unexpected result.
I'm not trying to beat a partisan drum. I do vote liberal, but I really don't care for any of the three networks. Can you honestly say you've taken the time to look at this issue objectively?
> Not to mention they had a guy listening to his dog, who told him to kill people.
According to Ressler (coined the term SErial killer, worked for FBI for 20 years, interviewed hundreds of incarcerated Sks) in his book, Berkowitz admitted to him that he was lying when he said the dog was speaking to him, in an attempt to plea not guilty by reason of insanity.
Well, Dahmer was homosexual, and his victims were all young men to whom he was physically attracted. Most of them were ethnically non-white; however, Dahmer did hold that race was not a factor and considering that his interest was primarily in corpses and bones that may be true. Regardless, he wasn’t robbing graves or mortuaries, but rather selecting men he found attractive and murdering them in order to have sexual contact with their dead bodies. Bundy had a clear preference for attractive young women with long dark hair. He was not exclusively or even primarily a necrophile, but he would often return to dump sites to groom and dress the corpses or engage in necrophilic acts. There's lots of books and articles written about both men; I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in the mindset of serial murderers.
As far as pedophiles go, this is an interesting book regarding the mindset of sexual predators. Again, it seems like many people with a sexual proclivity towards children have a "type"--i.e., girls in their early teens, or prepubescent boys, etc.
I think they really have begun to drink the kool-aid they'd been serving their viewers for decades.
Ailes biography by Gabriel Sherman reveals a propaganda mill, but they seemed to recognize then what narratives were useful and how they differed from reality.
Now? They have a handful of sane people and the rest are so fucking far out of orbit that they make the Fox News of the Bush era look quaint.
Now 92% Good work Centipedes!
I'd say it's pretty bad when your own ghostwriter thinks you're a piece of crap. "The Making of Donald Trump" is definitely an interesting read.
He wrote a book:
>Dead Giveaway: The Rescue, Hamburgers, White Folks, and Instant Celebrity . . . What You Saw on TV Doesn’t Begin to Tell the Story . . .
Let's buy to support. Looks really interesting too.
This book does a great job explaining some of the reasons why clinicians fall short in their accuracy and speed of diagnoses. I'm sure there are a number of doctors who knowingly brush patients complaints to the side when the answer doesn't jump out to them, but the are a whole bunch more of doctors (particularly GP's) who wish they could spend more time mulling over each unexplained symptom their patients bring to them.
The book does a better job explaining the related issues and is a really interesting source of medical stories for those interested (in fact, it's written by one of the doctors who consulted for the production of House MD.) The best thing a concerned patient can do is to be persistent and not be afraid to find a new practitioner/specialist if/when the first one falls short!
Amazon's definitely trying to stay on top of it by deleting reviews:

Her MSNBC show is in flames like a dumpster fire, and now she has to latch on to the guy she had formerly despised to kickstart what's left of her media career... SAD!
Remember her crappy book?
Adams was CHRONICALLY cantankerous and constantly hung up on everything. He nearly derailed trade and alliance negotiations that Benjamin Franklin had been working on for years during his time in Paris by being a "puritanical complainer" (as reported by Ron Chernow in his biography of Benny F) and was so inconsolably morose and snippish during his time as president that he frequently stayed away from the Presidential mansion in Philadelphia when he was cheesed off and would half-heartedly conduct business from his home instead (David McCullough's book on the man).
​
A lot of his complaining ends up coming off as accurate just because he did SO MUCH OF IT, it's great.
https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Giveaway-Hamburgers-Instant-Celebrity/dp/1938441516
Amazon prime eligible, for those who are curious
John Adams by David Mccullough is an EXCELLENT book that really describes the life and times of our second President, as well as the people and places of the revolution. John Adams was a key figure in the times, and his experiences are a great lens with which to view the whole of the time period.
I would most highly recommend this book, it is a great read and genuinely a page turner, which is most rare for a historical biography.
Mr Tea
Here you go.
As far as fiction goes, the best I have read is "Nevada" by Imogen Binnie. This is one of those books that I immediately started reading again as soon as I finished it the first time.
https://www.amazon.com/Nevada-Imogen-Binnie/dp/0983242232/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321271&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Nevada+imogene+binnie
Another work of fiction that is not about the transgender experience but does touch on some themes that you may be able to relate to is "Middlesex" by Jeffery Eugenides. It is really well done and has several interesting story arcs that intersect in really interesting ways with the protagonist.
https://www.amazon.com/Middlesex-Novel-Oprahs-Book-Club/dp/0312427735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321681&sr=8-1&keywords=Middlesex
As far as bios go I really liked Janet Mock's "Redefining Realness" and "She Not There" by Jennifer Finney Boylan.
https://www.amazon.com/Redefining-Realness-Path-Womanhood-Identity/dp/1476709130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321501&sr=8-1&keywords=redefining+realness

Edit: My auto correct want Boylan to be be Moylan.
I recommend these all the time, they are great:
Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit Its by John Douglas who founded the profiling unit for the FBI. Jack Crawford from the Silence of the Lambs was based off of him. Goes into all sorts of gory details and psychological analysis of well known and lesser known serial and spree killers.
Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI Written by the guy who coined the term "serial killer." Advised Thomas Harris when writing the Silence of the Lambs. Similar book with a different perspective. Has a few more first hand interview accounts with other serial killers.
read (if you haven't already) Whoever Fights Monsters!
I STRONGLY recommend the audiobook, Tom Perkins narrates it and his voice is amazing for this book!

You should read Shrinkage by Bryan Bishop. He has an inoperable tumor that almost killed him, but was shrunk with a new drug called Avastin.

There is a nice account of a blind physician in the book Every Patient Tells a Story, by Lisa Sanders. He still had some vision during medical school, but eventually went into rehabilitative medicine, rheumatology I think, because it had a lot to do with physical aspects he could feel.
As a bonus, she's a consultant for the television show House.
Nice save. For those interested, there's a fairly new book out all about Roger Ailes.

Hamilton was a controversial figure to say the least. During his time in Washington's cabinet, he was fundamental to the creation of the policies of the Federalist party. He was frequently reviled by the Democratic-Republican press, accused of being a secret monarchist, enriching himself at the expense of the government, and poisoning the mind of the otherwise perfect George Washington. He also did not have positive relationships with either Jefferson or Adams. While Jefferson thought his policies were dangerous Adams disliked him for much more personal reasons. During the elections of 1792 and 1796, Hamilton secretly lobbied against Adams, ostensibly so that Washington would be elected unanimously. Not surprisingly, Adams took that personally, and never forgave him.
One of the frequent criticisms that was lobbied against Hamilton was that he was too ambitious. During the quasi-war with France (1798-1800), Adams placed Washington in charge of the army in case of a French invasion. Due to Washington's age, he appointed Hamilton to be his deputy, meaning that he was essentially in control of the army. When it became clear that France was not going to invade, and the army would not be needed. Hamilton began to suggest various other military targets that he could attack (Florida or Spanish Louisiana). Southern Democratic-Republicans also spread rumors that Hamilton planned to march on them, placing himself at the head of a coup.
While he may have been interested, Hamilton never really had an opportunity to run for president. Of the 4 elections he lived through (he died in 1804), two were unanimously won by Washington, and John Adams was the Federalist candidate in the other two.
As to whether or not he could have won - probably not. He was despised by the Democratic-Republicans and distrusted by some members of his own party. Additionally, after Jefferson's election in 1800, the Democratic-Republican party controlled the presidency for the next 30 years. So even if he had not died in 1804, he may never have had a good opportunity.
Finally, another strike against Hamilton was his involvement in the 'first American sex scandal.' Democratic-Republican newspaper editor James Thomson Callender published that Hamilton had been making secret payments to James Reynolds. After Reynolds was jailed for a financial scheme, Callender insinuated that Hamilton was involved. Hamilton responded by stating that he wasn't involved in any such scheme, he'd just been sleeping with Reynolds' wife. (He even issued a pamphlet saying such.) This scandal, combined with the general dislike for him throughout the country would almost certainly have kept him from ever being elected President.

Sorry, that is kinda snowflake education there and I do understand, I work in EdPub so I know what they're teaching you.
Natural LAW is stated and spelled out as the rights each human are inherently born with. Those rights shall not abridged by any means as the 2nd amendment states.
What you're getting confused with is The Law of Nature. It's kind of sad I have to explain this to you. It's not your fault.
I just finished a college text that was so horrifically biased and inaccurate I came very close to uploading it to Wikileaks. On page 346 it even had a lovely bit on Hillary being elected the first woman president of the US..and a feature on the Ferguson thing...that was called PEACEFUL protests and failed to mention the facts in evidence...it was bullshit from stem to stern...and that is a college fucking textbook on government. It had less than 3 pages on the Rev. War...and the formation of government COMPLETELY ignored the process by which the US gov was founded. You can learn about it on your own...by actually reading the letters (unedited) in books like John Adams https://www.amazon.com/John-Adams-David-McCullough/dp/0743223136
and you will be able to read for yourself the absolute amazing process by which our form of government was created. The discourse, the fights, the ...it was amazing. If you want to learn the truth about Lincoln and read UNEDITED things...read DiLorenzo's work.
Seriously there is so much fucking asshattery being taught today to shape this helpless feeling I get from your words. I was forced to edit a feature I wrote on Lincoln...because you can't tell black people the Civil War wasn't about slavery...even though I was quoting Lincoln.
The Civil War is so horridly taught now...that there's no recovering. It was STATES rights. And greed. Each state that joined the union ONLY DID SO with the express agreement they could leave if they didn't like it. This is not a discussion about the morality of slavery...they could have and would have ended slavery naturally by forbidding new states joining the union from having slavery. The Civil War was the FIRST illegal war. It was about state's rights and the slaves being freed was incidental. Each time some uneducated tard tries to argue that I ask one question...explain to me why thousands upon thousands of dirt fucking poor white folk would fight to hold on to a system that did not benefit them for a second? Less than 1% of the US population owned slaves. Second point...how is it possible that the people who suffered the most and lost everything were the dirt poor crackers? Sure Sherman did a lot of damage...but oddly anyone can drive down south and see endless intact plantation homes...it was the punishment to the poor for daring to fight for the right of self determination.
And you can go right now and read endless shitposts on the Internet saying I'm wrong...without getting an answer to those two questions. So if you really want an education read DiLorenzo...LINCOLN unedited and you just might start getting angry at how horrifically you've been manipulated.
The truth is out there...but you have to go looking.

You'd love Brainiac, if you haven't already read it. His story is fascinating, he's hilarious, and he throws in a ton of trivia (of course).
The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News--and Divided a Country
Every Patient Tells a Story by Lisa Sanders MD is excellent.
It's certainly not as heady as anything by Gawande, a little pop, but I guess that's to be expected from a NY Times columnist and the HOUSE MD technical advisor. Very enjoyable.

>Why serial killers that are caught are allowed to live until they die of old age?
Simply put, in states that have (and still use) the death penalty, they are often put to death, although many plead guilty or make deals to avoid the death sentence.
In states or countries that don't have the death penalty, they stay in prison until they die.
Now, although these people are horrible human beings, keeping them alive is a much better alternative than killing them. Why? Because normal people don't become serial killers. A serial killer is the result of multiple childhood traumas (lack of love, humiliation, violence, absence of a mother during the first years of life, etc.) that, left untreated, can evolve into full blown mental illness, and allowing medical and law enforcement professionals to study them by interviewing them at length is considerably more useful than just pulling the switch.
This has nothing to do with the validity (or lack thereof) of the death penalty, it's simply a practical conclusion.
Special Agent Robert Ressler, the father of the modern FBI's Behavioral Science Unit (popularized by the Silence of the lambs movie) interviewed many of the most notorious serial killers in the US and abroad (Ted Bundy, Jerry Brudos, David Berkowitz, Richard Chase, Juan Corona, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, Edmund Kemper, John Wayne Gacy, Sirhan Sirhan, etc.) and this helped him and his colleagues understand serial killers much better, which has in turn enabled the FBI to train law enforcement forces all over the world to better deal with them, and this includes educating the medical profession on how to better recognize the signs in troubled offenders that an indicators of potential future crimes.
If you're interested in serial killers, there's two books you need to read that will educate you in no uncertain terms about how these people come to be, what triggers them and the different types of killers.
The first one is Robert Ressler's "Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI"
The second one is Gavin de Becker's "The gift of fear"
Edit: by the way, if you have a wife, a girlfriend, a daughter, a mom or a female friend, the book by Gavin de Becker is one that could genuinely save their life one day. Seriously. You'll thank me later.
Hi Susan, and thank you for doing this AMA!
Many years ago, I read Robert K. Ressler's book "Whoever Fights Monsters" and I never forgot the warning (borrowed from Nietzsche) that "he who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster, and when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
My question for you is: are you cognisant of "the abyss gazing back", and do you think writing about crimes such as these has an effect on other parts of your life?

I will admit that I haven't read David McCullough's biography of John Adams but having read some of his other biographies, I'd be hard pressed not to recommend it, just based on his general style.
David Cay Johnston put out an excellent book on Trump and he's apparently been building a dossier on him for DECADES and knows Trump personally:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1612196322/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484827347&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=david+cay+johnston+the+making+of+donald+trump&dpPl=1&dpID=51RotU7TrDL&ref=plSrch
Ok, which one of you did this?
you should go for 'Whoever Fights Monsters' by Robert Ressler next. Much better imo, and basically the same story. I'm not sure how that happened.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQ1HK28/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
> He holds no concrete policy convictions
This meme is based on a false premise. Last election, the self-proclaimed "true conservatives" of the GOP nominated a habitual flip-flopper who ran as a progressive in Massachusetts before pretending to be a conservative, was for a path to citizenship before he was against it, for gun control before he was against it, created Romneycare before bashing Obamacare, etc., etc. Consistency and principles only matter now because the neocons have been overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box by their own party, and they're lashing out at Trump.
It's easy and popular to claim that Trump has no real policy convictions, but it just isn't true. If you're actually concerned, read through the detailed policy papers on his website and the books that he's written about his political views. There's plenty of information out there about where he stands, you just have to do your own homework instead of expecting Trump to do it for you.
Has Trump changed his opinions before? Sure - for instance, he changed his mind about gun control when he got a gun and a license and saw why people like having them, and he changed his views on abortion when a personal friend decided at the last minute not to have one. But on his bread-and-butter issues, his message has been consistent for decades. You can go back 28 years and hear him saying the same things about trade that he's saying now. You can go back 16 years and read him saying the same things about illegal immigration and national security and foreign policy that he's saying now.
> What is a Trump voter actually voting for?
We're voting for national security, border security, trade deals that actually benefit us (not just our trade partners), and a prosperous economy that works. More importantly, we're voting against a phony strain of "conservatism" that capitulates on every issue, hates its own voters, and has been an embarrassment to our party and our country.
MtF here-- I'm not all trans views nor am I the only trans-feminist view.
First of all, it doesn't necessarily make you a TERF. TERFs generally hate trans folk, at least in my experience. Being uncomfortable and hating aren't the same.
​
Second, while I don't know about that book (and it sounds like they have a deep misunderstanding of gender identity,) I do believe that Yaviv is just a sick individual who is using the trans movement for his or her or whatever the pronoun is's own fetishes. Yaviv does not represent all trans people, just as Martin Shkreli doesn't represent all white people.
​
Third, regarding children transitioning, I want to ask you a favor. At your local library, browse through the online catalog and try to find the transgender section. There should be a variety of books on what being trans is, what the LGBTQ trends are, etc-- but I want you to specifically find the memoirs. I don't remember many names, but I remember this one: https://www.amazon.com/Redefining-Realness-Path-Womanhood-Identity/dp/1476709130
It discusses being transgender as a child the way she experienced it. I could tell you my experiences as a child-- and I didn't even know the word transgender until I was a sophomore in high school and my friend wanted to beat down a transgender freshmen and I learned about the concept of being trans. I acknowledge that transgender minors are a touchy topic, but I think that if you read about how many of us know from a young age that we are trans, then that'll help. Even so, you can support one part of the community without supporting another. It's like listening to a politician: You can totally support (Using this so I don't flare up tensions) Abraham Lincoln on his view of slaves without supporting his economic views and still overall support the Lincoln presidency.
Great read

There was a really good book that came out a few months ago. It's on my list:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Loudest-Voice-Room-News/dp/0812992857
The following list are books from retired members of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit - Jack Crawford's real-life equivalents:
Sexual Homicide - Patterns and Motives
Journey Into Darkness
Mindhunter
Anatomy of Motive
Whoever Fights Monsters
Dark Dreams
All of them go into detail in describing how cases were analyzed to develop profiles of unknown killers, the different categories of killers, and how the thought processes of a serial killer work. It's not that they are evil incarnate or unpredictable violent beings - there is usually some kind of logic there that makes perfect sense once you realize that they just aren't playing with the same set of rules as everyone else.
If you just want to talk about manipulation:
Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking
Dr. Feelgood: The Shocking Story of the Doctor Who May Have Changed History by Treating and Drugging JFK, Marilyn, Elvis, and Other Prominent Figures
Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas
The Anatomy of Motive : The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals by John Douglas
Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI by Robert K. Ressler
Signature Killers by Robert Keppel
This book actually began my red pilling, I saw the intent and sacrifice of the founders for the first time. One of the most well written books ever and it is based on true precise history. All the letters written between Adams and others were a key part of the historical picture. The HBO series is also great but read the book first.

Can you explain to me why you think he is scummy, and a reality TV star?
As far as I know he has not starred in any reality TV show. He was booked on new channels because he was a coherent and contempt talking head who offered an aggressive, backed up retorts to Trump regime.
If it wasn't for his constant arguing the story about his client Stephanie Gregory Clifford would have died long ago in the 24 hour news cycle.
His tennacious defence of his client has illustrated significant crimes committed by Cohen and Trump in their illegal covering up of his affair with Clifford.
In all of the press that i ever watched Avenatti never said he was running for any public seat. This was meandicious rumours spread by both sides threaten by the plain speaking lawyer who refused to play games with his clients defence.
I think he clearly worried the democratic leadership who's entire midterm strategy was to play dead. They were scared shitless of firing up the Trump base and thought if they didn't say the impeach word then they might think that the democrats weren't a threat.
Instead you have this extremely aggressive lawyer going on TV every night arguing that Trump is a criminal and should be impeached, tried and imprisoned for his crimes.
Holy crap i can see that scaring the crap out of the democrats but i do not believe the word scum is a proper description of Avenatti. As far as I can see he is not a 'worthless, contemptible person'.
Trump came to power despite being a mobster, a criminal, Per David Kay Johntson's book The Making of Donald Trump. If your system can allow for a criminal that has laundered billions for the American, Russian an Italian mobs (Atlantic City), and sold apartments to criminals all around the world, then surely that would mean that your democracy is broken. The fact that democracts refuse to acknowledge this truth is scary.
You people should be marching in the streets of all your cities, 24 hour stop work marches, across the country. If the Ukrainians and Flipino's could get rid of their fascist regimes, suffered brutual attacks and murders then surely Americans can.
The fact that the democrats are trying to go quietly into the night, whilst attacking anyone else that is trying to stop Trump is despicable and terrible.
But back to my original question. Can you tell me the unethical, and/or illegal things that Avenatti has done that makes you not like him?
​
You know, I used to read a shit ton of books from people who worked at Quantico about serial killers and the like. Ressler stated that serial killings were usually preceeded by those exact types of break-ins. Stealing shoes or underwear
EDIT: They are called "Fetish Crimes"
There's always Seinlanguage.
The two authors that come to mind are David McCullough and Joseph J. Ellis--they have both written several books that are fantastic. My favorite is McCullough's John Adams.
George Washington
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
Andrew Jackson
Those are my suggestions to get you started.
These are a few that I really liked:
Lisa Sanders, Every Patient Tells a Story
Norman Doidge, The Brain That Changes Itself
John Adams
This guy lived an amazing life first off. Second reading his Bio is a really good way to learn about the American Revolution and 18th century Europe. \
http://www.amazon.com/John-Adams-David-McCullough/dp/0743223136
Thats it! Thank you.
The book is called "Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis"
By Dr. Lisa Sanders as in the article you linked. Much appreciated.
If you solve the mystery in her articles, you win a signed copy of the book :).

Even books are being injected with unprecedented political rhetoric. I went to Barnes and Noble the other day, and guess what was the best selling book? Only Settle for more by the Kween herself.
Now is a good time to drop by amazon-Megyn and drop a steaming load on her book. Now.
Link to her book on Amazon book page?
Book name?
EDIT: I guess this is her book (came out today):

No what I'm saying is when you wander into an area where you aren't informed you're going to get criticized. Lebron can call the president racist and someone responding is racist? Come on now.
If a white athlete said Obama hated white people they'd be talking about it for a year straight. If Lebron actually debated Laura Ingraham he would be embarrassed beyond belief. She's went to an ivy league school and has a law degree. She worked for a Supreme court judge, was a speech writer for Reagan and was a lawyer. She had older black athletes on who have made the transition to politics after Lebron responded and they agreed with her.
And Trump's been involved with politics all his life. He ran as a Reform candidate in 2000. In the 80's he was taking politcal ads out against Reagan on foreign policy. He's written books on America: https://www.amazon.com/America-We-Deserve-Donald-Trump/dp/1580631312
A literal book he wrote in 2000 explaining his political beliefs. In this book he even talked about the risk of Osama Bin Laden and why America should be concerned about him.
According to McCollough's book (and I am sure many others), Adams later attested that July 4 was the date, despite these facts. It appears that the majority of the colonies' representatives approved it on July 1, but that more of them approved it on July 2. My belief is that the general consensus really occurred when everyone agreed to publication on July 4, and that this would be the implied reason for the day we celebrate.
I am currently reading Braniac by Ken Jennings, about the world of trivia nuts (such as myself) and his tale of his time on Jeopardy!
I also previously read his second book, Maphead.
He is interesting and a very funny guy. I really hope he writes more books.
Adams deserves more credit then they do. Adams was the key figure in pushing for independence. Strongly recommend https://www.amazon.com/John-Adams-David-McCullough/dp/0743223136

Wonderland Avenue: Tales of Glamour and Excess by Danny Sugerman.
https://www.amazon.com/Mr-T-Man-Gold-Autobiography/dp/0312550898
The research in medicine and treatment for this type of tumor has made incredible advancements in the last 5 years. They have medicine that has stopped the growth of tumors, and even caused them to shrink (thereby taking the pressure of the brainstem caused by the tumor). Here is a book by a guy that was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor , 10 years ago he was given 6 months to a year to live. Took the at the time experimental medicine, and it saved his life. So hoping you do not have one, but there is plenty of hope that it can be shrunk.
The book that catalyzed my gender questioning and discovery was My Gender Workbook , which it seems now has an updated sequel .
Another very good trans memoir is Janet Mock's
have you read Wonderland Ave. ? It is written by Iggy Pops manager. Awesome book. http://www.amazon.ca/Wonderland-Avenue-Danny-Sugerman/dp/0349101752
Amazon says December 2nd: Redefining Realness
.co.uk (where I usually shop) says 12 February.
John Adams by David McCullough. Amazing book. Such an interesting journey with so many interactions with historical events. And it was real... which is easy to forget.

I know this goes against your original question, but I was told by comedy teachers to not get too caught up in reading comedy books (ex: how-to's). Before I started doing improv, though, I read "Bossypants" by Tina Fey (I do stand-up now). It's a quick, easy read and the writing's awesome. Ellen Degeneres: also a great writer. Found [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Seinlanguage-Jerry-Seinfeld/dp/0553569155/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414942127&sr=1-1&keywords=jerry+seinfeld) too.
Relevant
I'll recommend some newer literature I really enjoyed:
Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
I'm also a big fan of John Steinbeck if you want to go the more classic literary route; East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men--they're all regularly assigned in literature classes for a reason. Some of his less well-known works, like Tortilla Flats and Travels with Charley are also a delight.
Erich Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has some of the most haunting and soul-stirring depictions of war that I've ever read.
For novels that might have more of a women's perspective, consider pretty much anything by Barbara Kingsolver (The Bean Trees and Prodigal Summer are my favorites) or Alice Hoffman (Practical Magic is fantastic).
Don't discount the work of Stephen King, either, especially if you have only seen his movies. The Stand and The Shining are extraordinary, many of his short story collections will just blow your mind (that's where the source material for the movies The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me come from). I particularly loved 'Salem's Lot and It (which cemented my lifelong aversion to clowns).
For non-fiction, I'd recommend any biography by David McCullough. His research is impeccable and he does a fantastic job of storytelling. I first encountered his amazing talent in Truman but American history fans really go nuts over John Adams and 1776.

One more recommendation.
read this book
http://www.amazon.com/The-America-Deserve-Donald-Trump/dp/1580631312
In Trump's book, The America We Deserve, he says the following:
> I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record.
That was in reference to this law.
>We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.
He was also for redistribution of wealth:
> I would impose a one-time, 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $ 10 million.
love this contest! i have a list just for books! but these two are ones that i would particularly love but probably never buy myself.
these are my cheaper ones:

GET IN THERE!
Yeah. that and there were at least four shows shooting for my demographic with similar "partners who come to love each other" crap main lines. Warehouse 13, that spy show with the blond chick and blind techie (covert operations?), Bones, NCIS does it from time to time...
So I turned off the TV and haven't looked back. I can thoroughly recommend John Adams' biography for intrigue, world travel, duty, rogues, and romance.
By paragraph. 1) Russian associated businesses are always crimes it is a
kleptocractic state. Regardless of political lean.
2) no one is but that doesn't change the wh from trying to distract ex Susan rice.
3) there's a new biography on trump read it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1612196322/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1491570709&sr=1-8&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=trump
He hasn't been caught but that doesn't prove innocence he's just lucky and it will run out.
As for the spying if you just now realized that govt spy on their population you are pretty fucking naive. They should not do it but short of revolt no country will stop spying on their money bags.

Fitting review
> Examples?
DID YOU READ THE ARTICLE? would you like me to retype it for you or download the information into your brain? Do you not follow the news?? He just called the press treasonous traitors... that's a crime punishable by death!! Coming from a bum on the street means nothing. Coming from the executive branch it's downright dangerous. I'm not a lefty loon...I'm also a moderate conservative/libertarian myself and think many far left liberal ideas are dangerous but trump if a flim flam man that might bring us to civil war. Keep supporting him though.
You want examples??
Here. Read a book.
https://www.amazon.com/Making-Donald-Trump-David-Johnston/dp/1612196322
instead of sucking off Rush Limbaugh on your morning commute.
Here's more important reading that you will ignore.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/03/boycott-the-gop/550907/
Let's flip this. What evidence do I need to provide you that Trump is a criminal and authoritarian who's only agenda is profit and power not conservative laws and ideas.
You're welcome and I'm sorry if my correction seemed harsh, but as a student of history and an American it's tiresome to see Americans trash their own nation's history because they've been fed a fantasy version by people with an agenda driven by animosity and moral relativism. McCullough's bio of John Adamsis a good one to read if you want to start learning a bit more about one of the founders. Most kids in this country learn very little about the founders-- maybe a story about Washington and Jefferson and next to nothing about the other crucial figures. It's too easy to let the founders who didn't live up to their principles off the hook by rewriting history and claiming that nobody realized slavery was wrong. Then as now, people will come up with all sorts of rationalizations for permitting injustice.
You need to read Wonderland Avenue
Much better book IMHO and probably the best book on Rock Music ever written.
